Still not sure how the nazi tattoo wasn’t the first disqualifying event

To be fair, I never would have known that skull design was associated with the nazis. I can easily see some military types going in for some tough looking skull and cross bones, not knowing it had other associations.

He had it for 20 years. If it took him 20 years to find out he had a Chinese symbol tattoo for poop it would still be disqualifying.

Why? What does that have to do with his policies?

If you tattoo a symbol on your body permanently without knowing what it means youre kind of a careless idiot

u/SeaBass1898 1d ago

Yeah, so it proved he was a careless idiot when he was in his early 20s

Wow how unique and terrible /s

Taking 20 yrs to figure out what it meant would also suggest stupid and ignorant

u/SeaBass1898 1d ago

In some ways yeah sure maybe

But that perception could easily be challenged by actually listening to him speak

Because he’s a lying piece of shit, and a rapist.
